did you even read the article, the country is experiencing an economic boom, the demand for electriicity is surging and the plan is to reduce unnecessary power consumption. they have had some serious problems with drought which has reduced the availability of hydroelectric power but the people of Venezuela can always vote for the old guard that looked after them so well in the good old days of american backed dictatorships.

The economy shrank last year by 2.8%, unemployment is over 12%, 28% of people are below the poverty line, inflation is at 30% and it was a wealthier country back in the 1950s.
